About this episode

Moe Seye discusses the rise of the 1099 economy and the evolving landscape of work.

Daniel Robbins sits down with Moe Seye to unpack the rise of the 1099 economy, the future of work, and why millions of people may never return to traditional employment. Moe shares how his time at Coca-Cola gave him stability and status, but eventually exposed the founder itch that pushed him to bet on himself. He explains why Silicon Valley still matters, how AI is accelerating the “company of one,” and why independent workers need the same infrastructure that corporate employees have always had: healthcare, retirement, tax support, business structure, and benefits.
